BadDrawable error on first run of gzserver after install
Gazebo noob here, running Ubunto 12.10 (unupdated because of something I remember from instructions on setting up a laptop at a competition).
Following the excellent instructions here http://gazebosim.org/wiki/1.6/install to build from binaries all goes well until the intial run of gzserver. That results in:
kenny@ubuntu:~$ gzserver Gazebo multi-robot simulator, version 1.8.7 Copyright (C) 2013 Open Source Robotics Foundation. Released under the Apache 2 License. http://gazebosim.org
Warning [ModelDatabase.cc:331] Getting models from[http://gazebosim.org/models/]. This may take a few seconds. Msg Waiting for master Msg Connected to gazebo master @ http://127.0.0.1:11345 Msg Publicized address: 192.168.77.128 X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 55 (X_CreateGC) Resource id in failed request: 0x4400002
Serial number of failed request: 30
Current serial number in output stream: 32
Running gzserver againthen brings up the server OK:
kenny@ubuntu:~$ gzserver Gazebo multi-robot simulator, version 1.8.7 Copyright (C) 2013 Open Source Robotics Foundation. Released under the Apache 2 License. http://gazebosim.org
Msg Waiting for master Msg Connected to gazebo master @ http://127.0.0.1:11345 Msg Publicized address: 192.168.77.128
In another terminal window I runsetup and then gzclient:
kenny@ubuntu:~$ gzclient Gazebo multi-robot simulator, version 1.8.7 Copyright (C) 2013 Open Source Robotics Foundation. Released under the Apache 2 License. http://gazebosim.org
Msg Waiting for master Msg Connected to gazebo master @ http://127.0.0.1:11345 Msg Publicized address: 192.168.77.128 X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 55 (X_CreateGC) Resource id in failed request: 0x5000002 Serial number of failed request: 30 Current serial number in output stream: 32 Segmentation fault (core dumped)
OK, that is consistent.
Any ideas on what I should try first? The instructions for building from source include some prerequisites to download install such as Ogre3D. Possibly building from source would work? I could also try Gazebo 1.9 or Debian 12.04.
Suggestions welcome
